source on lasers in germany in WWII?


Look Vince the text is so obviously the work of a deranged mind that it's
not even worth querying.

Watson-Watt rejected the 'death ray' idea in about 1934, interestingly
after rumours of a German device...

Nobody even built a Maser until after 1950, never mind a laser.

Forget it, it's just more Internet conspiracy rubbish.


I fully agree. My Father in law was student of Lamb's at Columbia and
knew Gould and all the other laser pioneers.(Gould was a student of Kusch
who shared the 1955 Nobel prize with Lamb) Ed actually took the first
photograph made with a laser

I was just assuming it was a mistranslation of the source

This is the Internet.

Never assume it's a simple mistake if there's the possibility of lunacy...

Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach

I have finalized my Unified Conspiracy Theory. It seems everyone in

get me.

source on lasers in germany in WWII?

The lasers that they worked on in WWII were not the
optical and fiber lasers used today. They were just modifed
X-ray equipment.

Since the lasers used today assume you know
something about digital computers and Turing machines,
rather than military morons.
